Mrs. j. S. Runyan and a party of
young ladies were out riding Monday
evening, till after dark. While coming
home, and in the north end of town,
her horse stumbled and fell, throwing
her forward. The horse quickly re-
gained his feet, and jumped over Mrs.
Rnnyan, without touching her. No
harm was done, but Mrs. Runyan don't
want any more circus.
Surveyors Hill and Aber have been
busy for week testing the water-how
of Elm creek, and in making a survey
of the proposed ditch into this CITY.
They damned the stream near the War
rem place, four miles north Of town, and
with instruments tested the volume of
water that could be drawn through a
ditch, aud found it to be 1000 cubic
feet per minute. This test was made
last week, when the stream was very
low. The volume was not as great as
they hoped to find, but it will be suffi-
cient for all purposes to which it is pro-
posed to apply it. When the survey
has been completed, and the amount of
excavation and filling ascertained, the
council will be prepared to say whether
or not the waterworks bonds shall be
issued. 1t is understood that if the
ditch can be completed for $4,000, the
work will be pushed to completion.
There is some opposition to the bonds
being issued, and an injunction is talk
ed of; but probably this will not be
asked.
